Chris "Henri" Dickerson passed away yesterday at the age of 82. Chris made his mark in bodybuilding and was named Mr. Olympia in 1982. At the time he was the oldest man to win that title. He was also the first openly gay and black man to be named Mr. Olympia.
Chris was called Henri when he posed for Bob Mizer.
Sad news. Thanks for the interesting biographical info. I'm glad to know that he lived a long and noteworthy life.
